Cole from the Black Lips with his Airline Town & Country guitar
Black Lips are out on tour this month (link to tour dates) and I hooked up with them yesterday in Toronto during their sound check. Cole is using an AIRLINE Twin Tone as well as a ’59 Town & Country. Go check them out in your city! If you’ve ever wondered what it is like up front during one of their shows, check out this clip from SXSW:

I’m a bit late to the party, but I had a question scliifcpaley about bookselling. My wife is the full time eBayer and I am the bookselling side of things in her store. As with everyone else, I am learning more and more over time. I have read your blog for a while and believe that you don’t use a scanner. I don’t currently sell enough to justify a scanner, and I don’t really want to go that route. I refer to bookthink.com and some other bookselling references a lot, but do you have any suggestions on getting the feel for good books? It seems that my feeling is often wrong.Thanks,Mike
